VESSEL FOR ADHESIVE MATERIAL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Batenteol Oct. 22, 1907.

Application filed February 9, 1907. Serial lioy 356,554.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Beit known that l, WILLIAM II,RE1 ING'roN,acitiZen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county ol' Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vessels for Adhesive Material, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

This invention relates to vessels for adhesive material, and more especially to that class of adhesive receptacles in which provision is made for keeping adhesive material moist and in condition for ready use; and the primary object of the invention is to provide an improved vessel of such character that the adhesive material may be kept in a constantly moist and usable condition by the evaporation of water contained within the vessel.

A. further object of the invention is to provide, in a vessel of the class described, suitable means for retaining a brush and for keeping the same in condition, by

which it is adapted for constant and ready use in the ap- K plica-tion of the adhesive.

To the attainment of these ends, and the accomplishment of other' new an d useful objects, as will appear, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of the several parts, hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and shown in the accompanying drawings, illustrating an exeinpliiication of the invention, and in which;-

Figure l is a vertical sectional view illustrating the general construction of one form of: the invention, and is taken on line l.-l ol' Fig. 2, which is a plan view, showing a portion of the top wall or top member oi the device broken away, disclosing the adhesive material. While Figs. l and 2 illustrate the general construction of a vessel embodying the principal features, the preferred form is illustrated in Fig. 3 and in Fig. 4, in which provision is made for a brush adapted to be used in applying` the adhesive material, Fig. 3 being a vertical sectional view on line 3 3 Fig. 4, While Fig. 4 illustrates a horizontal sectional view taken approximately on line -fl-a Fig. 3.

The device may be constructed of any suitable material, as for example, glass, or porcelain, or other convenient material, which is preferably of a character not liable to torrode by reason of the water or adhesive material to be contained therein.

The vessel may be constructed of two somewhat similar parts, one of which is adapted to ft over the other, thus forming a closure. The upper member is designated by the numeral l, the lower member by the numeral 2. 3 is an interior annular :flange on the upper edge or rim of the member 2, by which the upper and lower members are retained in position and a snug lit secured, which is advantageous in retaining the moisture within the vessel, as hereinafter explained. On the interior of the member 2 a cavity fi is provided, which is adapted to contain water, The upper' member l is likewise provided with the interior cavity 5, which is adapted to serve as a receptacle for the adhesive material, or paste.

liL is a wall or partition which in this embodiment of the invention forms, in conjunction with the wall ofthe member l, an interior cavity 6. The wall lu may extend approximately to the lower edge ofthe exterior walls of the member l, and by this means the cavity G is provided free from the adhesive material or paste, for the purpose of receiving the handle oi the paste brush 7, the lower end of which may extend into the cavity 4 oi the lower member 2, and be immersed or partially immersed in the water contained therein.

By thus providing a water receptacle and areceptacle for the adhesive material or paste, both within the closure, and the receptacle for the adhesive material being arranged above the water, I am enabled to utilize all of the moisture coming from the waterl receptacle by reason of evaporation, on account of the well known tendency of the vapor' coming from water to rise. Although the paste receptacle is inverted, it will be apparent that there will be no ditliculty in retaining the adhesive material or paste within such a receptacle, on account of the well known adhesive nature of such material.

In order that the invention might be fully understood, the details of an embodiment thereof have been thus specifically described, but

What I claim is:

l. In a vessel for adhesive material a receptacle for water at the lower portion, and a receptacle for the adhesive substance above the water chamber and communicable at or near its lower portion with such water chamber.

2. In a vessel for adhesive material a receptacle for Water at the lower portion, and a receptacle for the adhesive material above the Water chamber and having proximate communication therewith.

3. In a vessel for adhesive material, a water receptacle, and a receptacle for the adhesive material, the latter' arranged above the former and having its bottom or lower portion opening directly into the water receptacle.

4. In a vessel for adhesive material, a water receptacle and a receptacle for the adhesive material arranged above the former and in practically unobstructed communication therewith.

5. In a vessel for adhesive material, a receptacle for water and a receptacle for the adhesive material, the latter arranged above the former and the cup containing it reversed so as to permit unobstructed and direct communication between the Water chamber and the adhesive substance.

6, In a vessel for adhesive material, a water receptacle 10 and a receptacle for the adhesive material arranged above the water and in direct proximate communication therewith and means Within the vessel for retaining the brush.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses. on this 7th day of February A. D. 1907.

WILLIAM H. REDINGTON.
